Hello Rodney!

I know you posted this a while back but since you've posted this there are a lot more reviews on that model up. However, another opinion doesn't hurt at all with this kind of thing so if people want to post up more reviews on it, please do so.

Also for all you Acer C200 owners, the 9-cell battery and media bay battery are THE SAME THING. The weight saver module is actually just a lightweight filler for the media bay. Both of these can be found by calling Acer directly. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else but when I talked to the parts department at Acer about it, they did have it there. The 9-cell battery ran $179.99 before shipping and when I asked about the weight saver module, he said they could just ship it out and made it sound like nothing more than a little plastic. No price was given on it, if any.

I also asked them about a clear screen overlay and got some mixed answers. The first guy found it for $13.99. Jeff in their email service (since I couldn't find their phone number ANYWHERE on the site at that point) said it didn't exist but when I pushed, gave me the number to the parts department. The lady at the parts department said it didn't exist but when I asked her to check, found something so I ordered it. Turns out it's actually the fabric cover that folds over on the screen, not a clear overlay. Choose your wording very carefully. I'll be keeping it though since the one that came with the tablet is already looking a little shabby after less than two weeks so I feel like I might be replacing it soon anyway.

Just FYI for people who are looking for the rumored accessories on this! And hello again Rodney!
